Viticulture

Machine harvested to ensure the shortest possible time between harvest and pressing in order to preserve the delicate aromatics of the Prosecco grape.

Winemaking

Fermented in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. The Charmat method of fermentation is used in order to retain the CO2 naturally produced during fermentation and give the wine it's characteristic sparkle.

Tasting Note

This classic from the North of Italy is a delicious sparkler with aromatic pear flavours on the nose followed by a crisp palate of succulent apple and pear. Gently foamy, with a crisp and delicate finish.

Food matching

Drink on it's own, as an aperitif or in true venetian style, as a Bellini.
